PodCopter

The insensiv PodCopter is a tethered drone for use as a sensor carrier platform. The drone is able to autonomously maintain a predefined position to its take-off and landing platform. The sensor systems can be selected according to individual requirements and can be evaluated in real time.

Cable tethered drone – Unlimited flight time with the PodCopter

The PodCopter uses image processing for permanent and autonomous control and flies in a given position to its platform. A power supply via cable allows an unlimited flight time.

Thus the PodCopter allows a long-term use of versatile sensor technology. The drone can also be used in combination with commercial vehicles of all kinds and is therefore highly versatile in its applications.
